If Firefox was on Wayland then - according to what many people say on the internet - I wouldn't 
have tearing problems. (Recall that I can work around the suspend issue by disabling hardware 
rendering in Firefox, but that causes tearing.) This assumes that it is possible to render TDE 
using XWayland and have FF connect to Wayland directly, but I don't know whether that's possible.

Technically I can but I don't think I want to. I'd have to install Gnome 3 with all its 
dependencies and then have lots of leftover configuration garbage.

But I think I'll just give up on the idea. It looks like a quite lot of effort and it probably 
makes more sense to complain to nvidia about the broken drivers rather than look for a 
workaround.
